Chris Schluep wrote:(T)he Gospel of the FSM has been nominated for a Quill Award (in the humor category, not the religious one-- Oh well). It would be a fairly big deal if we could orchestrate a win for Bobby and the Noodly One.

Go to www.quillsvote.com to cast a vote for the FSM. And make all your friends vote. The awards ceremony will be on tv, and maybe we can get Bobby to accept the award (it's black tie).

Get on it, people!

Side Note: Chris is editor of the GotFSM, a forum member, and all around good guy.

One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out to God.

"Lord, I have a problem."

"What's the problem, Adam?", God replies.

"Lord, I know You created me and have provided for me and surrounded me with this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I'm just not happy."

"Why is that, Adam?", comes the reply from the heavens.

"Lord, I know You created this place for me, with all this lovely food and all of the beautiful animals, but I am lonely."

"Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a woman for you."

"What's a 'woman', Lord?"

"This woman will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and beautiful creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she can figure out what you want before you want it. She will be so sensitive and caring that she will know your every mood and how to make you happy. Her beauty will rival that of the heavens and earth. She will unquestioningly care for your every need and desire. She will be the perfect companion for you," replies the heavenly voice.

"Sounds great."

"She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam."

"How much will this 'woman' cost me Lord?", Adam replies.

"She'll cost you an arm and a leg."

Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern on his face. Finally Adam says to God, "Ehhh, what can I get for a rib?"

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.

Mabe he hasn't moved them as a test of our faith, much like the way he created evience for the theory of evolution to do the same...

Good thinking. I say we move them. But perhaps not... Maybe He just messed with the heads of the people who give out the awards as a joke. And maybe if we move the books, He will smite us with His Noodly Appendage.But I'm really just musing, and rather pessimistically. He probably is testing our faith. I'll move the Gospels whenever I see them:D

I have an easier and more appropriate solution for everyones bookshop dilemma. Simply move the signs, not the books. Put the "fiction" sign over or in front of the "religion" section and leave the humor section as is.

I Putanesca, His one true prophet etc. etc. (Black Olive unofficial separatist wing) have communed with His Noodleness on this very subject and thus do I speak on His behalf.

“Place My works on all shelves, for do not My words encompass all that is upon your world. Religion, Science, Cookery, Humour, Philosophy, Non-fiction, Sex and Graphic Design. But place them not upon a shelf named Fiction, unless it’s by a false prophet for I say unto ye all, none of this is made up, honest.”
